This referendum aims to top up the Anti-Scam Bounty, whose aim is to protect the community from scams by tracking/pruning scam activities, supporting scam victims, and promoting user safety via educational initiatives. The anti-scam bounty has been running for three years now and has helped fund multiple anti-scam tasks.
